By Jen Bayhi-GennaroThe mayor and Council met for their
regularly scheduled meeting on Tues-day, April 28, 2015, at 6:30
p.m. There were a number of planning and zoning issues that
required a public hearing, and the meeting was longer than
usual.
But first, Judge Lonny Myles ad-dressed the council to request a
separate prosecutors office. Myles explainedthat over the past 20
years, Zachary has grownexponentially,andhisofficenowhandles three
times the volume of vio-lations as compared to 1994. Further-more,
he explained, the clerk and
theprosecutorsofficeshouldntmix.Med-ical records and other personal
informa-tiongointoafile,andtheclerkofcourtsfileispublic.Theydoareallygoodjobof
keeping it separate, he said, Butwe shouldnt have to be worried
about that.Myles explained thathealreadyhas the staff, and it would
simply require doing away with one part-time position and adding a
full time position. The re-quest was not acted on at the meeting,
as itwasnotontheagendaandjustpartofthe overall budget discussions
that hap-pen every year.
BuzzyMuellerofCBIwasinatten-dance to address the council on some
changes to several exterior items thatdeviate from the previously
approved
siteplanofGPLouisianaFederalCreditUnion,whichisbeingbuiltnexttotheZacharyYouthPark.Muellerexplainedthat
because the credit union is strictly regulated, the numbers on the
design were more than the regulators would
al-lowthemtospend.Iwaschargedwithsaving some money, and this is the
result ofit,Muellersaid.Thechangesaretoremove three light poles, a

with Randy Herring there to speak on thebehalf of the owners.
Herring began by getting it out in the open that the pro-posed site
for the new facility is on the same lot that the Dollar General

Georgia-Pacific Sponsors American Naturalist On 100-Day Bird
Migration TrekFamed Ornithologist Dr. Bruce Beehler Makes Stop at
Zachary-Port Hudson Facility
Dr. Bruce Beehler, ornithologist at
theNationalMuseumofNaturalHis-tory, Smithsonian Institution, madea
stop in Zachary on April 14. Geor-gia-Pacific andAmerican Bird
Con-servancy are sponsoring Beehlers
100-daytripuptheMississippiRiverValley to follow the spring
migration of billions of songbirds from the Gulf
ofMexicototheGreatNorthWoodsof Canada.
The amazing songbird migra-tionup theMississippi in the
springwill be a story of one of natures most compelling spectacles,
said Beehler. Ihopethatbydocumentingthisad-venture through frequent
blog posts andeventuallyabook,Icanhelpevenmore people understand
the wondrous See GP BIRDS on page 6
dynamic that unfolds annually in the backyardsofmillionsofus
living inthe Americas.
Beehler will make stops at morethan 30 special natural sites in
12 states
alongtheMississippiRiver.HisvisitswillalsoincludethreeGeorgia-Pacificfacility
sites in April: Port Hudson, Louisiana; Monticello, Mississippi;and
Crossett, Arkansas. Among themany topics he will learn about are
Georgia-Pacifics wildlife conserva-tion efforts as well as the
companys endangered forest mapping initiative.
Inspiteof the inclementweather,Ronnie Albritton, Environmental
Manager at the PortHudsonOpera-tions, was able to tour Beehler
through the Port Hudson Civil War site.
WereexcitedtohaveDr.Beehleras a guest of Georgia-Pacific,
saidAlbritton. Sponsoring this trip un-derscores our long-standing
commit-ment to being a good steward of the environment. We have
many wildlife management programs across
Geor-gia-Pacificfacilities,severalofwhichincludepreservingbirdhabitats.Sev-eral
of our facilities have Wildlife at Work certification from
theWildlifeHabitat Council, which requires com-mitments to
conserving and restoring wildlife habitats on company land.
Beehlers undertaking is inspiredby a similar trip taken by
famedAmerican naturalist, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and
photographer Ed-winWayTeale,whichtookplace50
years ago. Teales work became a bench-
markonwhatwastakingplaceenvi-ronmentally with birds and other

Baby Boot Camp Launches Summer ProgramBy ashley evans
BlaineImhoffhasalwaysbeeninterested in fitness. She has aMasters
in Recreation Therapy.Once she became a mom, she wanted to find a
way to be home with her baby as well as bring in an income. She
alsowanted agood way to stay active and struc-tured. After hearing
about Baby Boot Camp, she became inter-ested in the franchise and
started taking classes in Baton Rouge.Blaine now has her own
franchise of classes in Zachary. She alsoserves St. Francisville
and theGreenwellSprings/Centralarea.
Baby Boot Camp is an innova-tive stroller fitness program that
helps moms regain or enhance pre-pregnancy fitness levels and meet
the physical challenges of parent-ing by emphasizing strength
train-ing in a supportive environment.
Weofferachallengingwork-out that doesnt require hiring a
personal trainer and a babysitter or a gym membership. Baby Boot
Camps goal is to balance the fit-ness needs of new moms with their
desire to spend time with their baby, says Blaine.
Baby Boot Camps most popu-lar stroller fitness
class,Strollfit,is a 60-minute class format for mom and baby.
Strollfit classescater to all fitness levels: preg-nant moms, new
moms recovering from pregnancy, and conditioned moms with one or
two stroller-aged children. To participate in classes, moms must be
at least 6
weeks postpartum (8 weeks fora cesarean section) and have
re-ceived verbal clearance from their physician to resume physical
ex-ercise. Pregnant moms must re-ceive written clearance from their
physician twice during their preg-nancy, depending on when they
begin attending Baby Boot Camp classes. Blaine herself is
expect-ing baby number 2.
Every class is a total bodyworkout of strength and
cardiointervals ending with abdominal
workandacooldown.Weinteract
withourkidsduring theworkoutand keep them engaged by sing-ing,
counting, blowing bubbles, andreadingbooks.
Blaine offers Strollfit classesevery Monday, Wednesday,
andFriday from 9:15-10:15am at ZacharyYouthParkwithalterna-tive
locations announced due to weather. Evening Classes are also
offered on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:45-6:45pm. Upon sign-ing up
for Baby Boot Camp, new memberswillreceiveakitwhichincludes a
stroller bag, resistance bands, and all the basic equipment
needed to attend classes.Dont let the word Baby
scare you, all ages and moms are welcome and dont let the words
Boot Camp intimidate you ei-ther. We work at our own level.With
modifications, the workoutscan be as challenging as you want them
be. It is not a competition.It is a very supportive group.Wealso
have a group called StrollerFriends which is free to all moms in
the area. It is a social networkfor moms and playgroup for the
kids.Someactivitiesthatwehavehad are an Easter egg hunt and we
decorated cookies for ValentinesDay. I am so thankful for all
myclients. I have made some greatfriendsandsohasJ.P.
Baby Boot Camp of Zachary, St. Francisville, and
GreenwellSpringswillcelebrateitsoneyearanniversary in August. As
the business continues to grow, Blaine hopes to add more classes,
such as nutrition classes and stroller yoga.
For the summer, Baby Boot CampisofferingaTeachersSpe-cial which
is discounted for three months. I just want to show ap-preciation
to our teachers who work so hard all year and wouldlove to have
them join us for thesummer with their little ones or without, says

In Our SchoolsRollins Place Elementary Creates Ecosystem
BiomesSeveral of the the Rollins Place Elemen-tary second grade
classes have been busy for the past month on their Biome Proj-ect.
The annual project allows students a hands-on approach to learning
about the different ecosystems in the world. This year the students
created Artic, Car-ribean and a rainforest.Biomes are climatically
and geographi-cally defined as contiguous areas with similar
climatic conditions on the Earth, such as communities of plants,
animals, soil organisms and viruses and are often referred to as
ecosystems. Some parts of the earth have more or less the same kind
of abiotic and biotic factors spread over a large area, creating a
typical ecosystem over that area. Such major ecosystems are termed
as biomes. Biomes are defined by factors such as plant structures
(such as trees, shrubs, and grasses), leaf types (such as broadleaf
and needleleaf), plant spacing (forest, woodland, savanna), and
climate. Unlike ecozones, biomes are not defined by genetic,
taxonomic, or historical similarities. Biomes are often identified
with particular patterns of eco-logical succession and climax
vegetation. An ecosystem has many biotopes and a biome is a major
habitat type. A major habitat type, however, is a compromise, as it
has an intrinsic inhomogeneity. Some examples of habitats are
ponds, trees, streams, creeks, under rocks and burrows in the sand
or soil.The biodiversity characteristic of each extinction,
especially the diversity of fauna and subdominant plant forms, is a
function of abiotic factors and the biomass productivity of the
dominant vegetation. In terrestrial biomes, species diversity tends
to correlate positively with net primary productivity, moisture
avail-ability and temperature.

On April 23rd Dr. Tonya Jacksons Anatomy & Physiology
students were afforded a rare and wonderful opportunity to interact
with cadavers at Tulanes Center of Anatomical & Movement
Science. Dr. Dancisak allowed students to handle and examine organs
of fully dissected cadavers. For many of the students, this
experience reinforced their deci-sion to pursue careers in
medicine. One of the students, Meagan Thierry described the
highlight of her experience as this, I liked how I could relate to
many of the topics they were talking about based on the things we
learned in class.
In Our Schools
The 8th grade advanced drama students from Northwestern Middle
School just returned from a 4 day trip to NYC! Trip highlights
include the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station,
Rockefeller center, Times Square, two Broadway shows, Statue of
Liberty and Ellis Island, the 911 memorial, as well as Radio City
Music Hall, to name a few. Students attended workshops taught by
Broadway professionals in improv and musical theatre. The trip was
a fantastic experience and I cant imagine what a trip like this at
14 will mean for their future. This was an eye-opening experience
but we are glad to be back in Zachary! says Paula Swilley, drama
teacher for NMS.
The Northwestern Middle School Band, Choir and Art classes spent
five days at Disney performing and going to workshops. Mrs. Savoie,
the art teacher reports: 22 eighth grade students attended two
workshops through Walt Disney World. The Y.E.S (Youth Educational
Series) programs included The History of Animation, and Photo
Storytell-ing. The students were able to draw with a Disney
Animator, put a story board together, and experience the creative
ideas a Disney Imagineer must possess to achieve goals. The art,
band and choir classes all traveled together for the five-day trip.
The experience was fantastic and magical!
